Celeste

Celeste doesn't have cheat codes. The tips and secrets below are the next best thing.

1. Your dash refills when you touch the ground, so plan routes around where you can land.
2. Climbing drains stamina. Madeline flashes red when she's about to let go.
3. You can still jump for a split second after running off a ledge, which helps on tight gaps.
4. Dashing diagonally down into the ground and jumping (a wavedash) carries big speed across the floor.
5. Strawberries are optional and only affect a small bonus. Skip them if they're frustrating you.
6. Assist Mode lets you slow the game, add dashes or turn on invincibility. Use it with no shame.
7. Death counts are shown as a badge of honor, not a failure.
